No. 1759-1951) replaced those made in 1938 under the Act, with
corresponding regulations governing the fumigation of ships,
Hydrogen Cyanide (Fumigation of Ships) Regulations No.

HOSTEL BY-LAWS
Early in the year it was suggested that consideration should
be given to the making of by-laws under Section 155 of the
Public Health (London) Act, 1936, relating to hostels in the
Borough. These would simplify the inspection of certain
premises being used as hostels.
A hostel was defined as premises other than a common lodging
house as interpreted under section 235 of the Public Health Act,
1936, where sleeping accommodation with or without meals is
provided for six or more lodgers not of the same family, who
occupy common sleeping rooms.
